The House approved this bill that would provide paid leave to federal employees for 4 of the 12 weeks of parental leave available to them.Congress.org - Key Votes

Rep. Steven Rothman (D-NJ) voted YES

Way to go Steve! Always interesting to me how they have no problem voting for increases in pay or benefits for themselves. Now, do you suppose this paid leave is going to trickle down to everyone else eventually?

The distractions about lame jokes and birth certificates is working!

Who'd have figured that our media controlled masses would not have noticed the politicians giving themselves more money.

This isn't really for Politicians. Once a politician is elected, they don't really have to show up if they don't want, they just won't be re-elected. Its for federal employees, and thats really who will benefit.

Hey, aren't those the same federal employees that are paid by tax money? Or are these different federal employees?

Yes, it is. But charges of them "voting for themselves" are pretty baseless.

Umm, theres a difference between bestowing rights upon people and mandating that they be bestowed. Congress has some responsibility for federal employees, in fact a greater responsibility than they do for non-federal employees. And I'm sure many in Congress would really prefer to include all individuals in this. Too bad the Republicans would block that in a heartbeat...so you can blame them for you not getting this privilege as well.

"You must spread some reputation around before giving it to KittenKoder again"

Would be useful if the media-controlled masses signed up for legislative updates, wouldn't it?
